00:00.000 --> 00:06.000
Have you ever had the feeling that you knew what someone was going to say just before he said it?

00:06.000 --> 00:11.000
Or have you ever walked into a strange room and had the sensation that you'd been there before?

00:11.000 --> 00:16.000
Well, if you have, you've taken a small step beyond.

00:16.000 --> 00:36.000
Now watch a giant step.

00:36.000 --> 00:39.000
Do you like ancient castles?

00:39.000 --> 00:42.000
Well, this is a very special one.

00:42.000 --> 00:47.000
There are no ghosts, whales, or rattlechains.

00:47.000 --> 00:49.000
There's nobody buried in the walls.

00:49.000 --> 00:53.000
But there is something that sets it quite apart.

00:53.000 --> 00:58.000
Something that happened in this very room centuries ago.

00:58.000 --> 01:02.000
As a matter of fact, it is still happening.

01:02.000 --> 01:06.000
Mr. Physician! What is this message?

01:06.000 --> 01:08.000
How is Jamie?

01:08.000 --> 01:11.000
Your son is dying, my lord.

01:11.000 --> 01:13.000
Dying?

01:13.000 --> 01:15.000
How can he be dying?

01:15.000 --> 01:16.000
Jamie!

01:16.000 --> 01:20.000
Jamie, lad, what's this stupid old fool talking about?

01:20.000 --> 01:23.000
Oh, get up, Jamie.

01:23.000 --> 01:29.000
Come! We'll pull that foolish old beard and send them running.

01:29.000 --> 01:30.000
Jamie.

01:30.000 --> 01:31.000
Hm?

01:31.000 --> 01:35.000
My lad.

01:35.000 --> 01:41.000
They told me you were the cleverest physician in all Europe.

01:41.000 --> 01:44.000
And this man's been with me for 20 years.

01:44.000 --> 01:51.000
And yet you stand here, the two of you, in your velvet robes, like a couple of scrawny old women.

01:51.000 --> 01:56.000
I have bled the boy seven times with leech and lancet.

01:56.000 --> 01:59.000
I have used lotions and emetics and plasters.

01:59.000 --> 02:05.000
If he's dying, you've done nothing!

02:05.000 --> 02:07.000
How could he be dying?

02:07.000 --> 02:10.000
My oldest son.

02:10.000 --> 02:14.000
My dearest son.

02:14.000 --> 02:18.000
How could he be dying?

02:18.000 --> 02:20.000
The Black Death could not kill him.

02:20.000 --> 02:23.000
It killed his mother.

02:23.000 --> 02:26.000
It killed his younger brothers, all except one.

02:26.000 --> 02:28.000
My daughter.

02:28.000 --> 02:30.000
But not Jamie!

02:30.000 --> 02:33.000
Yes, he seemed a strong young man.

02:33.000 --> 02:35.000
At first I was hopeful.

02:35.000 --> 02:39.000
At first I was hopeful.

02:39.000 --> 02:42.000
How can you stand there and take his death so lightly?

02:42.000 --> 02:45.000
My lord.

02:45.000 --> 02:48.000
Why is he dying?

02:48.000 --> 02:50.000
I don't know, my lord.

02:50.000 --> 02:52.000
You don't know?

02:52.000 --> 02:56.000
At first I thought it was a turded condition of the blood.

02:56.000 --> 02:58.000
You don't know?

02:58.000 --> 03:03.000
You calmly tell me he's dying, and you don't know why?

03:03.000 --> 03:05.000
My lord.

03:05.000 --> 03:06.000
You're a fraud!

03:06.000 --> 03:08.000
I have treated princes and kings.

03:08.000 --> 03:12.000
Oh, worse than a fraud.

03:12.000 --> 03:13.000
Where are these?

03:13.000 --> 03:15.000
My medicines, of course.

03:15.000 --> 03:20.000
All your poisons.

03:20.000 --> 03:27.000
When you came here 12 days ago, my son was ill, but he wasn't dying.

03:27.000 --> 03:29.000
What have you done with him?

03:29.000 --> 03:33.000
My lord, I cannot accept such an insinuation.

03:33.000 --> 03:36.000
With my lord's permission, I will leave at once.

03:36.000 --> 03:37.000
No, you will not leave!

03:37.000 --> 03:38.000
Stop him!

03:38.000 --> 03:39.000
What is this, a plot?

03:39.000 --> 03:41.000
A plot against me?

03:41.000 --> 03:42.000
No, my lord.

03:42.000 --> 03:43.000
Because of Jamie?

03:43.000 --> 03:44.000
Through Jamie?

03:44.000 --> 03:46.000
Do you hope to get at me?

03:46.000 --> 03:48.000
What have you been paid?

03:48.000 --> 03:49.000
No!

03:49.000 --> 03:52.000
Come on, tell me, what have you been promised?

03:52.000 --> 03:54.000
Very well.

03:54.000 --> 03:57.000
One thing I'll promise you.

03:57.000 --> 04:03.000
The day that Jamie is buried, each one of you will be buried.

04:03.000 --> 04:10.000
I must remind my lord that I am under the protection of the prince of Padua.

04:10.000 --> 04:14.000
You are in my castle, Mr. Physician.

04:14.000 --> 04:16.000
The prince of Padua is a long way away.

04:16.000 --> 04:18.000
But I have done everything I could.

04:18.000 --> 04:20.000
This is so unfair!

04:20.000 --> 04:22.000
Jamie!

04:22.000 --> 04:23.000
Jamie!

04:23.000 --> 04:25.000
Jamie!

04:25.000 --> 04:27.000
Okay, lads, rest now.

04:27.000 --> 04:29.000
Now take it easy.

04:29.000 --> 04:30.000
Take it easy.

04:30.000 --> 04:35.000
In his delirium, he has called this woman's name constantly.

04:35.000 --> 04:37.000
I asked the servants.

04:37.000 --> 04:43.000
They say there was a young girl of that name living in your village for some months.

04:43.000 --> 04:47.000
They say the young man was most fond of the girl.

04:47.000 --> 04:49.000
Most fond?

04:49.000 --> 04:52.000
Idle women's chatter.

04:52.000 --> 04:53.000
She was a pretty thing.

04:53.000 --> 04:55.000
She had a bright way with her.

04:55.000 --> 04:57.000
But she meant nothing to my son.

04:57.000 --> 05:02.000
And yet he constantly speaks her name as he lies dying.

05:02.000 --> 05:04.000
What has the girl got to do with it?

05:04.000 --> 05:08.000
I think a great deal, my lord.

05:08.000 --> 05:12.000
Why did you send her away?

05:12.000 --> 05:14.000
Her father was a wheelwright.

05:14.000 --> 05:16.000
He had completed his business in the village.

05:16.000 --> 05:18.000
He moved on.

05:18.000 --> 05:21.000
The servants say otherwise.

05:21.000 --> 05:25.000
And so you would prefer to listen to the servants?

05:25.000 --> 05:29.000
The boy will certainly die.

05:29.000 --> 05:35.000
I do not wish to be murdered, my lord.

05:35.000 --> 05:41.000
Why was the girl sent away?

05:41.000 --> 05:44.000
I told Jamie to give her up.

05:44.000 --> 05:47.000
And he defied me.

05:47.000 --> 05:51.000
For the first time in his life, he defied me.

05:51.000 --> 05:55.000
A loving son defying his father.

05:55.000 --> 05:59.000
The girl had bewitched him.

05:59.000 --> 06:03.000
Ah, my lord.

06:03.000 --> 06:04.000
What?

06:04.000 --> 06:06.000
What are you trying to say?

06:06.000 --> 06:11.000
How soon after the girl was sent away did the illness begin?

06:11.000 --> 06:14.000
I don't know.

06:14.000 --> 06:16.000
A week, I suppose.

06:16.000 --> 06:19.000
A scarce three days, my lord.

06:19.000 --> 06:29.000
Well, if you know, why do you ask me?

06:29.000 --> 06:33.000
For almost 30 years I have practiced my arts.

06:33.000 --> 06:37.000
I have cut for the stone successfully more than a hundred times.

06:37.000 --> 06:38.000
I have cured the plague.

06:38.000 --> 06:44.000
Even after the carbuncles appeared, I have tried pounding through the skulls of princes.

06:44.000 --> 06:48.000
Releasing the noxious vapors, and they have prospered.

06:48.000 --> 07:01.000
But my lord, when I am faced with this...

07:01.000 --> 07:04.000
Mark the way he breathes.

07:04.000 --> 07:10.000
As though all the tubes in his body had been knotted.

07:10.000 --> 07:14.000
I have seen such agony before, my lord.

07:14.000 --> 07:19.000
In neighbors, in Lausanne, in a village near Lyon.

07:19.000 --> 07:25.000
Each time the victim died, each time I was helpless.

07:25.000 --> 07:27.000
Why?

07:27.000 --> 07:31.000
My lord just spoke the word.

07:31.000 --> 07:33.000
What word?

07:33.000 --> 07:36.000
Bewitched.

07:36.000 --> 07:38.000
Are you trying to save yourself?

07:38.000 --> 07:43.000
If you think so, kill me now, my lord.

07:43.000 --> 07:49.000
She's just an ordinary girl.

07:49.000 --> 07:52.000
She's not a vagabond.

07:52.000 --> 07:55.000
She's not a gypsy.

07:55.000 --> 08:01.000
In Geneva, I saw two children, aged no more than ten.

08:01.000 --> 08:11.000
And a splendid merchant family, whose acts of witchcraft were beyond belief.

08:11.000 --> 08:15.000
Oh.

08:15.000 --> 08:16.000
Jimmy!

08:16.000 --> 08:19.000
My lord.

08:19.000 --> 08:26.000
No, Jimmy!

08:26.000 --> 08:37.000
It is not his position you must punish, my lord.

08:37.000 --> 08:40.000
Find the girl.

08:40.000 --> 08:46.000
Bring her to me!

08:46.000 --> 08:47.000
Liar!

08:47.000 --> 08:48.000
Liar!

08:48.000 --> 08:49.000
Liar!

08:49.000 --> 08:50.000
Liar!

08:50.000 --> 08:51.000
Liar!

08:51.000 --> 08:53.000
Silence!

08:53.000 --> 08:54.000
Continue.

08:54.000 --> 08:58.000
I, uh, I found her dancing in an open field.

08:58.000 --> 09:00.000
I, I came upon her suddenly.

09:00.000 --> 09:02.000
She, she didn't see me.

09:02.000 --> 09:06.000
It was a strange kind of a dance she did, the like of which I've never seen before.

09:06.000 --> 09:12.000
And as she danced, she, she laughed and uttered strange cries.

09:12.000 --> 09:16.000
And then the, the skies were full of clouds and it started to rain.

09:16.000 --> 09:18.000
And I were terrible frightened.

09:18.000 --> 09:20.000
I have danced many times.

09:20.000 --> 09:24.000
And I was always laughing, and why not, I was happy.

09:24.000 --> 09:26.000
I was in love and I was loved.

09:26.000 --> 09:28.000
The maid will remain quiet.

09:28.000 --> 09:31.000
How could I not laugh and sing when Jamie loved me?

09:31.000 --> 09:32.000
Silence!

09:32.000 --> 09:36.000
No matter how many of his witnesses lie, I did not harm him.

09:36.000 --> 09:39.000
How could I harm my darling Jamie?

09:39.000 --> 09:41.000
Tell the court all that you told me.

09:41.000 --> 09:45.000
Well, uh, well, my lord, I, I...

09:45.000 --> 09:50.000
You told me she caused all the milk suddenly to turn sour.

09:50.000 --> 09:52.000
She did, she did.

09:52.000 --> 09:53.000
She did.

09:53.000 --> 09:56.000
And you saw imps flying in the air above her head.

09:56.000 --> 09:58.000
On two occasions, my lord.

09:58.000 --> 09:59.000
I did.

09:59.000 --> 10:02.000
And like all the other witnesses, didn't you see me whirl a cat in the air?

10:02.000 --> 10:05.000
I'd disappear after saying magic words.

10:05.000 --> 10:09.000
My oldest son is lying dead.

10:09.000 --> 10:12.000
And the witch mocks me.

10:12.000 --> 10:16.000
Catherine, with thine own hands,

10:16.000 --> 10:21.000
thou hast placed thy mark in the black book of perpetual death.

10:21.000 --> 10:25.000
Thou art a sorcerer and a witch.

10:29.000 --> 10:31.000
Now then, Catherine,

10:31.000 --> 10:37.000
hear the awesome sentence of this civil court.

10:37.000 --> 10:43.000
Thou shall be remitted forthwith into the hands of the public execution.

10:43.000 --> 10:45.000
No! No!

10:45.000 --> 10:48.000
To be taken to an open field,

10:48.000 --> 10:52.000
one hundred rods from the castle gates.

10:52.000 --> 10:58.000
There thou shalt be bound to a wooden stake with leather thongs

10:58.000 --> 11:00.000
and burned.

11:00.000 --> 11:01.000
No!

11:01.000 --> 11:02.000
Take her!

11:02.000 --> 11:03.000
Take her!

11:03.000 --> 11:04.000
Where did you take him from me?

11:04.000 --> 11:06.000
And now you take him from me!

11:06.000 --> 11:08.000
And now you kill me!

11:08.000 --> 11:09.000
Take her away!

11:09.000 --> 11:12.000
As much as I loved him, that's how much I hate you!

11:12.000 --> 11:16.000
If it's true, if I do possess the power you see,

11:16.000 --> 11:18.000
I curse you!

11:18.000 --> 11:22.000
And I curse all that follow you and bear your name!

11:22.000 --> 11:27.000
Since Jamie, your firstborn son, died before his father,

11:27.000 --> 11:30.000
so will it be in every generation!

11:30.000 --> 11:31.000
Take her!

11:31.000 --> 11:32.000
I curse you!

11:32.000 --> 11:33.000
Burn her!

11:33.000 --> 11:34.000
I curse you!

11:34.000 --> 11:35.000
Burn her!

11:35.000 --> 11:36.000
I curse you!

11:36.000 --> 11:38.000
I curse you!

11:38.000 --> 11:40.000
I curse you!

11:40.000 --> 11:41.000
I curse you!

11:41.000 --> 11:43.000
I curse you!

11:43.000 --> 11:45.000
I curse you!

11:45.000 --> 11:46.000
I curse you!

11:46.000 --> 11:47.000
I fury!

11:47.000 --> 11:48.000
I fury!

11:48.000 --> 11:49.000
I fury!

11:49.000 --> 11:50.000
I heard you!

12:08.940 --> 12:09.780
When?

12:10.680 --> 12:12.380
It's almost over, I'm afraid.

12:12.380 --> 12:13.380
How much longer?

12:13.380 --> 12:14.380
Who knows?

12:14.380 --> 12:18.980
About an hour, at the most.

12:29.880 --> 12:30.880
Well?

12:30.880 --> 12:37.880
Poor lad.

12:37.880 --> 12:47.220
Well, at least there's this to be said.

12:47.220 --> 12:50.360
That foolish superstition is finally being laid to rest.

12:50.360 --> 12:53.920
An oldest son is surviving his father.

12:53.920 --> 12:57.120
The Sunday papers will have to give up one of their favorite little tales.

12:57.120 --> 12:58.120
Peter!

12:58.120 --> 13:01.880
If you could convince Will of that, it might save his sanity.

13:01.880 --> 13:02.880
What?

13:02.880 --> 13:03.880
Didn't you see his face?

13:03.880 --> 13:06.040
He's very devoted to the Earl.

13:06.040 --> 13:07.760
He's feeling great sorrow.

13:07.760 --> 13:08.760
And even greater terror.

13:08.760 --> 13:10.760
Now, Harriet, don't let's start that all over.

13:10.760 --> 13:11.760
I know him.

13:11.760 --> 13:12.760
He's my husband.

13:12.760 --> 13:16.160
He's absolutely certain that he has less than an hour to live.

13:16.160 --> 13:18.320
Will's an intelligent man.

13:18.320 --> 13:20.360
Peter intelligence has nothing to do with it.

13:20.360 --> 13:24.360
He feels that your past has ended the death on him.

13:24.360 --> 13:28.360
Will?

13:28.360 --> 13:32.360
Will!

13:32.360 --> 13:35.360
Oh, Will, darling.

13:35.360 --> 13:36.360
Leave me alone.

13:36.360 --> 13:42.360
For heaven's sakes, Will.

13:42.360 --> 13:44.360
Why a delegation?

13:44.360 --> 13:46.360
Can't I just be by myself?

13:46.360 --> 13:48.360
Well, you left the sick room in such a state.

13:48.360 --> 13:50.360
Harriet was a little worried about you.

13:50.360 --> 13:52.360
Now, look, Will, you really can't believe...

13:52.360 --> 13:55.360
Can't I?

13:55.360 --> 13:57.360
Will, darling, this isn't the dark ages.

13:57.360 --> 13:59.360
This is the 20th century.

13:59.360 --> 14:01.360
Tell that to Uncle Francis and Great Uncle Peter.

14:01.360 --> 14:03.360
They both died in the 20th century.

14:03.360 --> 14:05.360
Millions died in the war that killed Francis.

14:05.360 --> 14:07.360
And thousands died of diphtheria in 1906, like Peter.

14:07.360 --> 14:08.360
Yes, here.

14:08.360 --> 14:12.360
And I suppose it's just one of those odd bits of chance that for eight generations, the oldest son...

14:12.360 --> 14:18.360
Well, it certainly wasn't because some stupid peasant girl cried out a curse, I'll tell you that.

14:18.360 --> 14:22.360
Intellectually, I must believe you.

14:22.360 --> 14:30.360
Still, I'm absolutely certain that somehow, within the next hour, somehow, before my father dies,

14:30.360 --> 14:37.360
in the very best of health, at the tender age of 28, surrounded by my loved ones and my doctor,

14:37.360 --> 14:41.360
somehow I'm going to die!

14:41.360 --> 14:44.360
This emotion will make me senseless.

14:44.360 --> 14:48.360
Now look, Will, I'm going to prepare a sedative for you that will put you to sleep for a couple of hours.

14:48.360 --> 14:49.360
No!

14:49.360 --> 14:51.360
Don't tell me no. I'm your doctor.

14:51.360 --> 14:52.360
Will, darling...

14:52.360 --> 14:54.360
Go after him. Tell him I'll not take his sedative.

14:54.360 --> 14:55.360
But, darling...

14:55.360 --> 14:56.360
Do as I say!

14:56.360 --> 14:58.360
Why have you let your guests to sleep?

14:58.360 --> 15:01.360
Can't you imagine why?

15:01.360 --> 15:05.360
Don't you know what wonderful thoughts are whirling around in my head?

15:05.360 --> 15:08.360
How is young William to die?

15:08.360 --> 15:10.360
A bolt of lightning?

15:10.360 --> 15:13.360
There isn't even a cloud in the sky.

15:13.360 --> 15:15.360
Will I be run over by a train?

15:15.360 --> 15:19.360
Here, in my own house?

15:19.360 --> 15:21.360
Or will the roof fall in?

15:21.360 --> 15:25.360
It's managed to stay up there for 800 years!

15:25.360 --> 15:29.360
Oh, Will, you aren't going to die.

15:29.360 --> 15:32.360
Or will my doctor make a mistake?

15:32.360 --> 15:35.360
Prescribe the wrong medicine, the wrong dosage?

15:35.360 --> 15:40.360
Will, you're breaking my heart!

15:40.360 --> 15:44.360
Or will my darling wife become weary of her babbling husband

15:44.360 --> 15:48.360
and take a shotgun down from the wall and put him out of his misery?

15:48.360 --> 15:52.360
Stop it! Stop it! Stop it, Will!

15:52.360 --> 15:58.360
Oh, my darling. Oh, my darling.

15:58.360 --> 16:05.360
Tell him no sedative.

16:05.360 --> 16:06.360
Oh, and Harriet...

16:06.360 --> 16:07.360
Yes?

16:07.360 --> 16:10.360
Check with the airport again, will you?

16:10.360 --> 16:14.360
See if you can find any new information on when Jamie's plane is due.

16:14.360 --> 16:20.360
Little brother Jamie. An Earl at 22. Not bad, eh?

16:20.360 --> 16:22.360
Oh, Will, for heaven's sake, stop it.

16:22.360 --> 16:26.360
Of course, I do feel a pang of sadness for his firstborn.

16:26.360 --> 16:27.360
Nothing's going to happen!

16:27.360 --> 16:50.360
But he lived longer than I did.

16:50.360 --> 16:53.360
How is it possible?

16:53.360 --> 16:57.360
How could I die?

17:54.360 --> 18:01.360
Lord William, are you all right?

18:01.360 --> 18:30.360
Go away!

18:30.360 --> 18:50.360
Will.

18:50.360 --> 18:53.360
I told you to leave me alone!

18:53.360 --> 18:55.360
Your father just died.

18:55.360 --> 18:57.360
It happened very quickly, just a few minutes ago.

18:57.360 --> 19:02.360
There wasn't even time to call you to the bedside.

19:02.360 --> 19:04.360
How is that possible?

19:04.360 --> 19:05.360
How can it be?

19:05.360 --> 19:06.360
You see?

19:06.360 --> 19:18.360
The curse was childish nonsense.

19:18.360 --> 19:22.360
I feel as if...

19:22.360 --> 19:25.360
I don't know, I...

19:25.360 --> 19:31.360
I feel as if I'd just been born again.

19:31.360 --> 19:37.360
I feel as if a ton of rock had been lifted from my chest.

19:37.360 --> 19:39.360
He's dead.

19:39.360 --> 19:44.360
He's really dead.

19:44.360 --> 19:48.360
I can't tell you what these last minutes have been like.

19:48.360 --> 19:50.360
Oh, God.

19:50.360 --> 19:53.360
I know, darling, I know.

19:53.360 --> 19:58.360
I've died ten thousand times in this room, Harriet.

19:58.360 --> 20:08.360
Suddenly, everything's all right.

20:08.360 --> 20:10.360
Everything's all right!

20:10.360 --> 20:11.360
Did you hear that?

20:11.360 --> 20:13.360
Did you hear what I said?

20:13.360 --> 20:15.360
Oh, Will.

20:15.360 --> 20:16.360
Darling.

20:16.360 --> 20:20.360
My father dies and all I can feel is infinite relief.

20:20.360 --> 20:26.360
Oh, you poor darling, you've been through so much.

20:26.360 --> 20:28.360
He's dead and all I...

20:28.360 --> 20:35.360
All I want to say is thank God!

20:35.360 --> 20:37.360
There now.

20:37.360 --> 20:39.360
There.

20:39.360 --> 20:40.360
Come on, sit down.

20:40.360 --> 20:43.360
Sit down, darling.

20:43.360 --> 20:45.360
Come on, sit down.

20:45.360 --> 20:46.360
There.

20:46.360 --> 20:49.360
Don't cry.

20:49.360 --> 20:50.360
It's all over.

20:50.360 --> 20:52.360
The doctor can give you that sedative.

20:52.360 --> 20:54.360
You can get some sleep.

20:54.360 --> 20:55.360
All right?

20:55.360 --> 20:57.360
Yes.

20:57.360 --> 20:58.360
I want to sleep.

20:58.360 --> 21:00.360
Yes, you should.

21:00.360 --> 21:01.360
Harriet, I loved him!

21:01.360 --> 21:02.360
Oh, I know.

21:02.360 --> 21:03.360
I loved him!

21:03.360 --> 21:05.360
I know, darling, I know.

21:05.360 --> 21:07.360
I know.

21:07.360 --> 21:09.360
There now.

21:09.360 --> 21:11.360
Everything will be all right.

21:11.360 --> 21:13.360
Everything will be all right.

21:13.360 --> 21:14.360
There, darling.

21:14.360 --> 21:23.360
I'll be back in a minute.

21:23.360 --> 21:26.360
Father.

21:26.360 --> 21:28.360
I'm working as fast as I can.

21:28.360 --> 21:31.360
Now, just you relax or I'll give you a shot, too.

21:31.360 --> 21:33.360
When he wakes up, he'll be all right.

21:33.360 --> 21:34.360
I hope so.

21:34.360 --> 21:36.360
I hope I've done the right thing.

21:36.360 --> 21:38.360
Of course you did the right thing.

21:38.360 --> 22:07.360
Poor chap's been under a strain enough to kill a horse.

22:07.360 --> 22:08.360
Father.

22:08.360 --> 22:21.360
Father, I didn't want you to die.

22:21.360 --> 22:24.360
It's just...

22:24.360 --> 22:26.360
I was so afraid.

22:26.360 --> 22:39.360
Forgive me, Father.

22:39.360 --> 22:59.360
I'm sorry.

22:59.360 --> 23:13.360
I had to...

23:13.360 --> 23:16.360
I had to lie to him.

23:16.360 --> 23:18.360
I had to lie to him.

23:18.360 --> 23:20.360
He was suffering so.

23:20.360 --> 23:22.360
Oh, please, God.

23:22.360 --> 23:24.360
Oh, please, God.

23:24.360 --> 23:27.360
And so it happened again.

23:27.360 --> 23:42.360
In 1951, William's younger brother opened the castle to tourists who come in droves to see the place where the firstborn son of each generation was cursed by a witch so many, many years ago.

23:42.360 --> 23:46.360
But certainly Catherine could not have been a witch.

23:46.360 --> 23:52.360
Certainly her trial was a farce and her death a tragic injustice.

23:52.360 --> 23:56.360
But then why has her curse been so effective?

23:56.360 --> 24:06.360
Well, if we want to fall back on our old friend, coincidence, the odds on such a coincidence are three billion to one.

24:06.360 --> 24:14.360
In any event, James, the present Earl of Kaldane and William's younger brother, has never married.

24:14.360 --> 24:21.360
Curse or coincidence, the Kaldane line will end with him.

24:21.360 --> 24:26.360
A clue about next week in one moment.

24:26.360 --> 24:34.360
Next week and every week, we'll be bringing you the personal records of the rarest kind of human experience.

24:34.360 --> 24:37.360
Man's adventure in the world of the unknown.

24:37.360 --> 24:42.360
That mysterious psychic world beyond our five senses.

24:42.360 --> 24:51.360
This is your invitation to take with us that astonishing one step beyond.

25:12.360 --> 25:21.360
The End
